Daimon Masaru from Digimon Savers. i think he's pretty bad ass. think about it, he's able to beat down monster two, three even maybe ten (or more) times his size with just his fist. that's pretty bad ass. i don't think i know any anime character who can do that. plus he never backs down and runs head long into battle, sometimes without a plan.

the toughest badass in all of anime or manga? hmmm, grimmjow, sesshomaru, alucard, angel dust anderson, broly are some of the toughest fighters. when they fight they're just insane...i think i should add kenpachi zaraki cause after all he never had a use for sanity lol.

you know i heard a rumor a while ago that he is going to learn the name of his sword...think about how crazy powerful that would make him. i have no idea if it's true or not but that would be so cool."The choice we're making now may be one of evil as well, for we call for peace, but with weapons in our hands."

that would be cool. during his and ichigo's fight when he unleashes his power there is a face in his aura that looks like a skull (when ichigo does his it is his vizard mask) so maybe his zanpaukto's name deals with death. when he learns its name he then can achieve bankai and he would be unstoppable. i think when he learns its name he should learn his own since he gave himself his name. they should also reveal (unless they've alreay done so) the yachrio that the Lt. is named after.

yeah i noticed the lskull thng, i so hope that it is actually true....i'm kinda curious to know how they got out of the hollow world and who the first espoda is i think that may be where Zaraki comes more into play...but right now they are showing how the vizards came into being which is cool too."The choice we're making now may be one of evil as well, for we call for peace, but with weapons in our hands."

the soul raper? u mean reaper...lol i couldn't resist. ya kariya did use everyone and that isn't all. tune in to the conclusion of the bount arc for his real aim of unleashing the power of the crest.

Guts cause he was born in a corps and he kills anyone without a name so he kills everyone except him and his partner"Lord please forgive us for the truspasses that we are about to commit!!" - Dead Leaves, #777

I have to agree with Iceman13c Guts is got to be the most badass ther is no such thing as to strong or to tough for him he will beat it up and if he cant he will make a bigger sword come back and then beat it up.

I'm going to say that Ganondorf from The Legend of Zelda series is more bad ass than Sephiroth, so is Barry Burton from Resident Evil, Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell, and Duenan Knute from Appleseed. "After a thousand battles, one only sees death!" -Chaos Space Marine Predator (Warhammer 40,000)

Alucard, Walter, a.k.a the Angel of Death, and Paladin Alexander Anderson from Hellsing, I mean come on those are some seriously bad ass dudes, I couldn't easily pick one of them though in all honesty I would end up narrowing it down to Walter and Anderson those are some bad assed guys. Hell even Seras for all her short comings is pretty bad ass too I mean she carries around a cannon and attacked her parents killers with a fork! That may not be as bad ass as some but thats still something!Love... is just a different kind of pain.

THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE HIM THE FINAL BOSS BECAUSE OF HIS HEALTH BAR BEING SO HIGH WHEN YOU FACE HIM IN BATTLE BECAUSE I GOT HIM DOWN TO THE END OF HIS HEALTH AND HIT HIM 20 TIMES AND HE DIDN'T DIE. THEN I GOT HIM AFTER HE KILLED ME."I SHALL RETURN BY GEN MAC ARUTHER"
